PhillyEnterpriseTech PeopleNews 12/23: @FirstrRoundCapital plans, Philly Startup Leaders
With Rob Hayes joining Chris Fralic in stepping back from active roles as First Round Capital partners, it represents a generational change, except for one exception, co-founder Josh Kopelman.
Kopelman told Axios Pro Rata's Dan Primack recently:
"I don't see myself slowing down or stepping back for many funds to come. I've had amazing partners, and also think that I now have a group of amazing partners... Ultimately, I'd rather be known as a better picker of partners than a picker of companies."
That's the most I've heard him say about future plans for quite a while.
